After early signs that Google and HTC are silently preparing a Nexus One compatible with AT&T’s 3G network, a recent FCC filing has given further and significant indication that such a device is indeed in the works.
According to Engadget on behalf of a contributor, the FCC recently published RF compliance results for a device with an ID of NM899110, whereas the original Nexus One bears an ID of NM899100. The new device was also tested on WCDMA bands I, II and V, better known as UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz, whereas the original Nexus One was tested on WCDMA bands VIII, IV and I, or UMTS 900/1700/2100MHz.
As Engadget said, “Same label style, nearly identical model ID, different bands — we think we know what’s going on here.” Even so, it is not known when such a device–if it is as real as appearances suggest–will launch, but we’d place our bets on a mid-March or early April introduction.
